My quilted wall hanging proudly hung in for Collect 2025

"C O N N E C T E D"

This quilt was inspired by Ireland’s growing community of changemakers, all connected through eco conscious practices and a shared concern for the environment. The segments of the quilt symbolise this community and my connection to it through my eco prints. Furthermore, the whole piece is quilted together with a hand-sewn stitch using thread from - the only flax farm in Ireland currently producing true Irish linen from seed to fibre - representing a progressive future of regenerative textiles in Ireland.

The quilt is made up of repurposed linen scraps. All the scrap pieces were retained in their original shape to create a more organic pattern. Before they were sewn together, they were eco printed using only three core plants - Weeping Willow and Blackberry leaves foraged from around Dublin and Coreopsis flowers grown in my dye garden. The used plants were then simmered in water to extract more dye for the block colour segments. Repurposed felted natural wool insulation was used for the quilt’s padding.

Thanks to for a truly inspiring symposium held last year that influenced this piece a great deal!
